Description
Describe the bug
When using a borderless window, ie WindowStyle="None", and using a TitleBar control to provide the maximize/minimize/close buttons, when maximizing the window it fills the entire screen instead of stopping at the taskbar.
To Reproduce
Create a borderless window with a TitleBar:
<ui:UiWindow x:Class="MyApp.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyApp"
xmlns:ui="http://schemas.lepo.co/wpfui/2022/xaml"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MyApp" Height="700" Width="1100" MinHeight="580" MinWidth="1100" WindowStyle="None" Background="Transparent" AllowsTransparency="True" ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip" WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions.../>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions..../>
<ui:TitleBar Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Row="0" Title="MyApp" Foreground="#03DAC5" FontSize="18" CanMaximize="True" UseSnapLayout="True"/>
Use the Maximize button in the TitleBar to maximize the window.
Expected behavior
Maximized window should stop at the Taskbar area.
Screenshots
Instead of stopping at the taskbar:

The window covers the entire screen including the taskbar:
